lyrics

Wellness Weeks Wellness Weeks
Intervention, Intervention (4x)

Baptised in a contaminated bay.
Fisherman say go away
we say no we have to play
Intervention, Intervention

Lost in a storm, thousand miles from the shore
Ocean moshing comfortable and warm,
now you finally got your song,
I'm drowning, I like it.

Wellness Weeks Wellness Weeks
Intervention, Intervention (4x)

(bridge)

So much more than corruption and greed
a killing machine, a killing machine
lives and wallets,
pride and inner peace
dignity, sanity,
empathy and health,
You make them sick
to buy your fix
tricks, tracks and a fake abyss (3x)

Stop looking down for the devil in the ground
Evil hides as a helping hand,
just another pawn, a generic brand
a game I didnt even know I was playing,
Till I lost, Till I lost, Here I am, Here I am (2x)

Wellness Weeks Wellness Weeks
Intervention, Intervention (4x)
